I, too have noticed some of the anti-barefoot articles. Perhaps the shoe companies are planting the info. out there b/c they're nervous?

Their upshot: they frame the argument as this - "The argument is not about barefoot versus shoe running; it's about technique." If anyone is spreading malicious posts around the internet, it might be the author of http://www.runningbarefootisbad.com/; he's adamant about stopping people from running without shoes. Not sure why it would matter.KovasPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401299101228398072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-53625300860999657472010-06-06T12:57:10.571-04:002010-06-06T12:57:10.571-04:00I personally think the article is pretty fair. The...I personally think the article is pretty fair. The study by Lieberman shows that stress is reduced, but there is nothing saying that it is better, just different. <br /><br />I actually like how it mentions barefoot running, but doesn't make it out to be the end all for running. I also like how it mentions building up to it.<br /><br />Yes, barefoot running is great and has been awesome for me, but it may not be for everyone. This article tries to look at the broad spectrum. <br /><br />On another note, I think I am on to why it is being posted all over the internet. Advertisers pay people to write blogs and link key words to their site. For example, look at this: http://www.bustudio.com/news-and-society/barefoot-running/ All the links go to the same place. By slightly changing the blog the guy is getting paid each time per repost. (I used to write for a company that did this) By marketing like this the company boosts their Google search rank and promotes their website.<br /><br />So, for the most part, don't read into this article too much. It is just some guy trying to get paid by linking to a site. For the most part his writing isn't bad for the lack of care that goes into most of these posts.Barefoot Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054361671178068153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-77181089784259423682010-06-06T09:19:52.864-04:002010-06-06T09:19:52.864-04:00Interesting....I do feel bad when I shop at runnin...Interesting....I do feel bad when I shop at running stores since I'm no longer buying shoes and I value small independent businesses (used to spend $300/year at least). Instead, I make a point to spend a bit more on tops and winter running gear. I used to just run in old T-shirts. Now I feel I should support them with technical clothes. I probably look better anyway:)Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567666970919163944noreply@blogger.com
